Odell Beckham Jr. News
Wednesday, August 5, 12:40 PM
Wednesday was another strong day at practice for New York Giants veteran wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. Beckham had four catches in team drills and made some tough grabs. He has taken advantage of the opportunities with both Malik Nabers and Darius Slayton sitting out with injuries early in training camp. Raanan adds that it's pretty important for OBJ to stand out, since he's on the roster bubble in camp and the preseason. The 33-year-old former 12th overall pick in 2014 by the Giants out of LSU didn't play at all in 2025 and looked washed up in 2023 and 2024 with the Baltimore Ravens and Miami Dolphins, respectively, catching a combined 44 passes on 82 targets for just 620 yards and three touchdowns in 23 games (six starts). He may have found a spark of energy in his return to the Big Apple, but even if Beckham makes the team's active roster going into Week 1, he's unlikely to have a big enough role on offense to warrant attention in the vast majority of fantasy leagues.

Bo Melton News
Wednesday, January 14, 12:15 PM
Green Bay Packers wide receiver/cornerback Bo Melton (ankle) said that he expects to need just one month to recover from the ankle injury that he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Minnesota Vikings, according to Tom Silverstein of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Barring a setback, Melton should be good to take part in the team's offseason workouts in the spring. The 26-year-old is unsure if he'll work more as a receiver or defensive back going into the 2026 season. Melton was mostly a backup wideout for the Packers this year, catching only four passes for 107 yards and a touchdown on 13 targets, transitioning more to a defensive role. He'll be a restricted free agent this offseason, which means he'll most likely return to Green Bay. We aren't expecting Melton to have any real fantasy football value in the fall.
